```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

## Why theprotocol_getFederationPeerByID is rated Low

This tool queries and returns federation peer details based on an ID parameter. It performs a read-only data retrieval operation with no side effects, state changes, or external action execution. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access peer metadata it may not be authorized to see, but cannot modify, delete, or trigger financial/destructive operations.

From the tool's own definition: "'Get federation peer detail by id' - retrieves peer information without modifying data or triggering external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call theprotocol_getFederationPeerByID to retrieve information from TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "theprotocol_getFederationPeerByID": {}
  }
}
```
